If I Could Write My Secret

shorty_01

If I could write my secret 
on a star 
Then bottle it and 
toss it to the sea 

Would it travel 
to the corners of the Earth, 
And echo there 
the love I hold for thee? 

If I could write my secret 
on the moon 
Then bottle it and 
toss it to the winds 

Would it find your heart 
So you may briefly know, 
Where your love ends 
Is where my love begins? 

If I could write secret 
on the sun 
Then bottle it and 
toss it throughout time 

Would someone from a distant galaxy 
Find no greater love 
Than that was mine Yet, 
I cannot write my secret 
on a star, 
Nor moon, nor even on 
the blazing sun, 

Nor bottle words to send them 
Where you are 
Nor coerce our separate hearts 
To beat as one 

And so my darling 
You will never hear 
The humble words of love 
I wrote for thee 
They remain encrypted, 
tightly sealed 
And yet they travel on 
....eternally
